However, a majority of the OI declined within the first three days. It remained flat during LTC\u2019s drawdown in the past two days.<\/p>\n<p>In the past 24 hours, a flash OI spike of 10% was observed alongside a price rise, which might imply fresh long positions from traders. The rise in the funding rate further confirmed that more longs were currently active than shorts.  <\/p>\n<p>In light of that, Tyler, an anonymous crypto trader, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-ct-non-breakable=\"null\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TylerDurden\/status\/1894694374224900601\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" text=\"null\" title=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TylerDurden\/status\/1894694374224900601\">said<\/a> that the altcoin presented \u201cone of the best charts in crypto.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The sentiment was followed up by Poseidon, a crypto analyst who <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-ct-non-breakable=\"null\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CryptoPoseidonn\/status\/1894693406560960730\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" text=\"null\" title=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CryptoPoseidonn\/status\/1894693406560960730\">predicted<\/a> that Litecoin is targeting a new all-time high at $300. <\/p>\n<p>However, a technical analyst, Mihir, believed the long-term target could be even higher. <\/p>\n<p>The analyst said, <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cLTC hit $350 USD during 2017 \u2014 a 310x move. It retested the 2017 high during the 2020 bull run but failed to make a new ATH. In the current (2023-2025) bull run, it hasn\u2019t moved much yet, but it is indicating an upside move this year.
